"The plumber arrived promptly to update plumbing as part of the new bathroom remodeling. He efficiently prepared pipes for the new vanity, bathtub and toilet. At the end of each visit, I appreciated hearing what work had been completed. The work area was always clean and tools were never left behind. I would highly recommend this plumber."

"John was Curtis, solved the problem and verified"

"4/29/23 Christian tech checks our our home AC. He notes the cooling coils are rusty, a source of coolant leak, and the system, at 14 years age, is near it's end of life. He also noted some mold in the blower blades, which isn't easily seen. He put pressure gauges on the system at outside valves and reported coolant pressure was good. System was test run successfully. He sold us a 1 year maintenance agreement. 6/2/23 outside temp reaches 93 deg. We turned on the AC and only warm air came out. Outside compressor WOULD NOT RUN. We had Christian rep come out. He said all coolant had leaked out. He offered a leak test with dye for $510, or replace the "rusted" coil for at least $3681. We declined. A Christian salesman later quoted a full system replacement. We had another AC company investigate. He found the outside valves HAND TIGHT ONLY, which would allow coolant leak. We had him pressure test with nitrogen over a 4 day weekend, which he charged ONLY a $149 service call. Starting psi over 300. Psi after 4 days over 300 psi. We had him recharge the system. He noted that coils are rusty within 6 months from new. We then had him recharge the system. Total costs with labor & visits both companies $1,595. 7/11/23 Date writing this review. AC working well, same electric power usage for air temps as prior years. Christian seems more interested in selling new systems. Giving benefit of doubt, their 4/29 "technician" was incompetent."

"Fix the shower tub faucet"

"We reached out to Paul and his team at MLKD for help with our kitchen remodel, and they were so professional and detailed during our initial consult that we hired them right away. The MLKD team worked with us tirelessly to make the perfect design and also ensured the procurement and prompt delivery of our cabinets. They also recommended an excellent installation contactor, and we were just thrilled with the end product. Thank you Main Line Kitchen Design!"

"I would like to start with my apologies for the length of this review but I needed to get all of the information down. We have recently purchased a new home. The house did not have a washer and dryer so we needed to make this purchase. When the washer was delivered a leak in the shut-off valves was discovered when the valves were opened. I decided it best to have a plumber take a look and complete the repair on the valves. My wife was home for this repair. I was unable to make the meeting, so she met the plumber. The plumber came in and started with a quote of over $800.00 to replace two leaking shut-off valves. My wife thought that I should talk to the plumber and called me at work. After discussing with the plumber, he stated that the proposed repair was to cut a one foot square in my wall, cut the existing pipes, solder new sections of pipes onto the freshly cut existing ones that had shut-off valves already installed onto the end of them. I explained to him, over the phone, that the process of replacing the shut off valve was to unscrew the old valve from the pipe and screw a new valve onto the old pipe. No soldering was required in this approach and no hole would need to be cut. My solution would only take between 15-30 minutes to complete as to the three hour process he was proposing and should cost less than $300.00 for a plumber to complete. He explained that it was not possible to simply replace the shutoff valves as they were too old (my house was built in the 80s). I had him hand the phone back to my wife and told her that the call was hers as I was done dealing with this guy and ready to tell him to get out of our house. She stated that she would rather have it fixed now and the repair was started. About 30 minutes later, I received another call from my wife stating that the plumber was able to repair just the shut-off valve without cutting the wall. He did this by replacing only the shut-off valves. I asked her if she could see any dripping from the valves when they were opened and she replied that she was unable to verify as the hoses were not attached and that “installing” the washing machine was going to cost $300.00. I told her to hand the phone off to the plumber. I asked him how he was going to verify that his work was completed without screwing the hoses back onto the shutoff valves. He replied that the valves are not leaking and that the water to the house was turned back on. My reply was that the old valves did not leak when they were closed either. We only discovered the leak after the hoses were attached and the valves were opened. I told him that I did not want the washer “installed” but I did want him to check his work by attaching the hoses and opening the valves. I was talking to my wife while this was completed to verify that there were no more issues. She verified that the shut-off valves were not leaking so the payment was processed. When I got home, I took a look to see the finished product and noticed that the plumber screwed the hot lead to the cold supply and vice versa. I also noted that he neglected to replace the housing around the supply lines. It has been four business days since this repair and I have yet to receive a receipt for the work completed and documentation of what I paid. If you made it to the end of this review, you understand that there is no way I will ever call Michael and Son for any work in the future. I hope that my review has given you insight into Michael and Son and you decide the same."
